II Corinthians 2017

Class Code: NT 304

Class Hours: 2

II Corinthians was written after Paul had heard a positive response from his first letter that was sent to Corinth. After writing I Corinthians, and sending it to Corinth by Tutus, Paul thought the content of the letter may have been too sharp. When Paul did not meet Titus in Troas, he crossed the Agean Sea into Macedonia, and nervously asked people if anyone had seen Titus. After running into Titus in northern Greece and hearing how the first letter had been received, Paul composed II Corinthians and sent it also ahead of his arrival in Corinth.

The approach to the epistle will be a verse by verse exegesis of the material. The student should be prepared to discuss any part of the material that is due the day of class. Special attention will be given to the abrupt changes that are found in chapters eight and nine, and chapters ten through thirteen.

Ecclesiastes

I & II Thessalonians 2017

Class Code: NT 205

Class Hours: 2

This NEOBC class will cover the two short New Testament epistles from the apostle Paul, writing from Corinth, to the Thessalonian Church. These are the earliest correspondence (AD51), and he, here, deals with such issues of persecution, false teachers, Godly living, and he devotes a significant amount of material regarding end times/the return of Christ. He is also more personal in his relationship with the people there in that church. He gives many short statements about their faithful living for Christ and warnings about being idle.

We will study about the man Paul and how traveling, church planting and letter writing are seen in these short epistles. We will learn about the city and culture of Thessalonia. We will spend some considerable time in the speculative issues of the end times and his insights into the signs of the times.

I Corinthians Fall 2016

Class Code: NT 303

Class Hours: 2

I Corinthians will be conducted as an exegetical class. The class will cover each verse trying to determine the content of the verse and to see how it fits into the context concerning where it is found. The class will attempt to cover the first thirteen chapters of I Corinthians. Chapters 14-16, will be covered during the second semester when II Corinthians is taught.
If there ever was a Church in the New Testament that was plagued with its share of problems it was the Church at Corinth. The Church was following different men, unsure of biblical authority, abusing New Testament teachings, questioning apostolic importance, had trouble with marriage and marital relationships, demanding their own rights, defaming the Lord’s Supper, and confused tremendously over the Spiritual gifts, just to name a few of the problems that they experienced.
The book of I Corinthians is an excellent study because it helps the modern church today with the issues that it is facing. The epistle also provides excellent help into solving many of those problems. The epistle provides a wealth of information concerning procedures as well as the dynamics about relationships concerning leadership authority and obedience to leadership.
